Thomas Betts 17034-BD Battery Flag Terminal Positive

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 17034-BD is a positive-polarity flag terminal designed for 1/0 AWG automotive battery cable applications. Flag terminals orient the lug at a 90-degree angle to the cable axis, allowing routing in tight or restricted spaces where a straight terminal would not fit. This terminal is a direct-crimp style connector used by automotive technicians, fleet maintenance crews, and electrical installers working on vehicle battery systems, heavy equipment, or marine starting circuits. It ships as a single unit and is intended for professional installation using the appropriate crimp tooling for 1/0 AWG conductors.

This terminal is suited for positive-side battery cable terminations in automotive and light-duty commercial vehicle applications. The flag orientation makes it a practical choice in engine bays and battery compartments where cable exit direction must be managed to avoid interference with nearby components. Installers working on battery replacement, cable repair, or custom battery cable fabrication will find this terminal appropriate for 1/0 AWG positive battery leads.

Key Features

• Flag-style orientation routes cable at 90 degrees to the terminal face for tight-space installations
• Positive polarity designation for correct battery cable identification and installation
• Designed for 1/0 AWG battery cable conductors
• Single-unit packaging for individual repair or replacement jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flag terminal for 1/0 AWG positive battery cable terminations in automotive and light commercial vehicle electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive or electrical technician. Disconnect the negative battery cable before servicing any battery terminal connections to prevent accidental short circuits. Use a calibrated crimp tool rated for 1/0 AWG lugs to ensure a secure, low-resistance connection. Do not solder over a poorly crimped connection as a substitute for proper tooling.
